About us

About us

Expertise and imagination. Not only excellent products strictly selected applying the best scientific knowledge and not only high performance machines, but above all …. quality! Warm at the right point, lungo or ristretto: the first step towards tastiness is the gesture of the expert, the touch of who makes the coffee with love.

Master Coffee Academy School was born in 2011 from the evolution of a training project conceived in 2005 and exclusively dedicated to the world of coffee shops. Through time and experience, Ms Natascia Camiscia - A.S.T. (Authorized Sca Trainer.) – has turned a spontaneous initiative into a real school.
The coffee world is in a constant evolution therefore knowledge becomes fundamental to "tell ourselves" to the customers, to go with them into a universe of flavors and feelings towards innovative specialties and through a conscious revival of tradition.

The Master Coffee Academy offers barmen the opportunity to increase their skills and professionalism and deepening the culture of mixed drinking through its highly specialized courses. And … for those who want to take a chance, we can prepare you for the national barista championships!
